Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a spectacular panorama of the southern Rocky Mountains and the vibrant red rock transition of the Colorado Plateau as you approach Utah.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🚜

Oklahoma High Plains

Vast stretches of agricultural patterns and wind farms across Western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle.

⛰️

Sangre de Cristo Mountains

The dramatic first wall of the Rockies, rising sharply from the high desert floor.

🏜️

San Juan Mountains

A dense cluster of rugged, snow-capped peaks in Southwestern Colorado.

🏞️

Colorado Plateau

A massive expanse of arid desert with deep canyons and unique geological formations.

🏔️

Wasatch Range

The steep mountain range that borders Salt Lake City, visible during the final descent.

Choose a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of the canyons and mountains. This side is prone to afternoon glare as you head west, so morning flights offer the best lighting for photography. Look for the distinct transition from green plains to red earth.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌾

Cimarron National Grassland

Expansive prairie landscapes where the plains meet the foothills of the Rockies.

🏔️

Pikes Peak

The iconic 14,000-foot summit standing as a sentinel on the Colorado Front Range.

❄️

Continental Divide

The jagged backbone of the Americas, often covered in snow year-round.

🌲

Uinta Mountains

A rare east-west mountain range with high alpine lakes and dense forests.

🌊

Great Salt Lake

The massive saline lake visible during the final approach, often showing distinct pink and blue hues.

The right side stays cooler and shaded on westbound flights. Keep an eye out for the Great Salt Lake on the final approach; if the plane enters from the north, you will get a bird's-eye view of Antelope Island and the lake's unique color divisions.
